I have been looking for studies that investigate the effects of the possible mismatch with respect to accent and/or language variety between a Speech Langauge Pathologist and a client on the success of the SLP treatment. I am aware that in the field of Early Intervention studies have shown that an intervention is more effective when the therapist belongs to the same cultural, ethnic etc group and I wonder if this were also the case in the context of the treatment of older patient (children and adults) by SLP. I thank you in advance for your help.

It works really well, even on a not very fast dsl line. I notice that you can stop the proceedings by clicking on the picture, and that it is easy to go back and forth in the transcript by clicking on individual lines. All very good to have. One suggestion is that down the line it would be great if the navigation folders had some indication if the files in them had attached media (perhaps a little media symbol of some sort), so that people looking for examples could go right there.

It may be a bit tricky to implement this, but the recent change in file format should make this easier. What we did a few months ago was to introduce a header line declaring the exact nature of the video, thereby removing media names from the bullets and putting a single name up at the top. So, perhaps a program can track this and construct the type of information you are suggesting. As you see, one of the things that pops up right away with a facility like this is the contrast between being able to study child language interactions with and without media. It makes a huge difference doesn't it? All the more reason for us to try to link some of these great transcripts (such as the Gleason corpus) to the respective media, right? :) Best wishes, -- Brian MacW On May 3, 2009, at 12:28 AM, Jean Berko Gleason wrote: > > Brian, thanks for this.

Next, you can find out if the problem is your connection speed by going into QuickTime and in the QuickTime Preferences under the Streaming tab, set you connection speed to 56 kbps Modem. This will force the server to play MP3 audio instead of video. If the transcript then plays OK with audio, you can conclude that your connection is too slow to support video playback. You may possibly be able to play around with your streaming rate to find something acceptable. -- Brian MacWhinney On May 3, 2009, at 11:51 AM, Gordon, Peter wrote: > I'm having trouble loading the videos.

That is, models which are compatible with research in psycholinguistics, developmental psychology and linguistics. Invited Speakers: * Tom Griffiths, University of California, Berkeley * Hinrich Scheutze, University of Stuttgart (TBC) Workshop History: This is the fifth meeting of the Psychocomputational Models of Human Language Acquisition workshop following PsychoCompLA-2004, held in Geneva, Switzerland as part of the 20th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING- 2004), PsychoCompLA-2005 as part of the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL-2005) held in Ann Arbor, Michigan where the workshop shared a joint session with the Ninth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL-2005), PsychoCompLA-2007 held in Nashville, Tennessee as part of the 29th meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci- 2007), and PsychoCompLA-2008 held in Washington D.C., as part of the 30th meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci-2008). Given the increasing interest, this year the workshop will be spread over two days directly before the main conference of the 31st meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci-2009) which begins on July 30th, 2009. Workshop Description: The workshop will present research and foster discussion centered around psychologically-motivated computational models of language acquisition, with an emphasis on the acquisition of syntax. In recent decades there has been a thriving research agenda that applies computational learning techniques to emerging natural language technologies and many meetings, conferences and workshops in which to present such research. However, there have been only a few (but growing number of) venues in which psychocomputational models of how humans acquire their native language(s) are the primary focus. Psychocomputational models of language acquisition are of particular interest in light of recent results in developmental psychology that suggest that very young infants are adept at detecting statistical patterns in an audible input stream. Though, how children might plausibly apply statistical 'machinery' to the task of grammar acquisition, with or without an innate language component, remains an open and important question. One effective line of investigation is to computationally model the acquisition process and determine interrelationships between a model and linguistic or psycholinguistic theory, and/or correlations between a model's performance and data from linguistic environments that children are exposed to. Topics and Goals: Short papers that present research on (but not necessarily limited to) the following topics are welcome: * Models that address the acquisition of word-order; * Models that combine parsing and learning; * Formal learning-theoretic and grammar induction models that incorporate psychologically plausible constraints; * Comparative surveys that critique previously reported studies; * Models that have a cross-linguistic or bilingual perspective; * Models that address learning bias in terms of innate linguistic knowledge versus statistical regularity in the input; * Models that employ language modeling techniques from corpus linguistics; * Models that employ techniques from machine learning; * Models of language change and its effect on language acquisition or vice versa; * Models that employ statistical/probabilistic grammars; * Computational models that can be used to evaluate existing linguistic or developmental theories (e.g., principles & parameters, optimality theory, construction grammar, etc.) * Empirical models that make use of child-directed corpora such as CHILDES. This workshop intends to bring together researchers from cognitive psychology, computational linguistics, other computer/mathematical sciences, linguistics and psycholinguistics working on all areas of language acquisition. Diversity and cross-fertilization of ideas is the central goal.

I can then obtain the children's ages by looking at the headers in the datafile. However, this is a bit longwinded and time-consuming, so if anyone knows of a way to automatically output the children's ages I'd be very appreciative. Thanks Nick Riches. P.S.

That way you will have a column with ages only. It shouldn't take more than one minute.

M. Allen (Boston University) and Caroline F. Rowland (University of Liverpool) have agreed to become the new series editors for Trends in Language Acquisition Research (TiLAR). Shanley Allen (PhD, McGill University) is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at Boston University, USA. Her research focuses on how the morphosyntactic structure of a language affects the patterns of development in that language. She is best known for her work on the acquisition of Inuktitut (Eskimo) as well as the acquisition of argument structure and argument realization. She has published numerous articles and chapters on language acquisition, and has served for several years as Associate Editor of the Journal of Child Language. Caroline Rowland (PhD, University of Nottingham) is a senior lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, UK. Her research focuses on the question of how children acquire their first language, with the aim of developing and testing constructivist models of the language acquisition process. She is best known for her work on English children's acquisition of questions and auxiliaries and she has written, edited and contributed to a number of books and journals on first language acquisition. TiLAR publishes monographs, edited volumes and text books on theoretical and methodological issues in the field of child language research. The focus of the series is on original research on all aspects of the scientific study of language behavior in children, linking different areas of research including linguistics, psychology & cognitive science. The editors welcome proposals for thematic collections and monographs, focusing on work with a constructivist/non-generativist slant. TiLAR wants to publish sound empirical work (including research monographs based on PhD theses of an excellent standard) and to encourage debates and discussions. Shanley Allen and Caroline Rowland will be assisted by an editorial board consisting of: Ruth Berman, Tel Aviv University Morten Christiansen, Cornell University Jean Berko Gleason, Boston University Nancy Budwig, Clark University Ewa Dabrowska, University of Sheffield Philip S.

I am posting a reply to both chibolts and info-childes address in case you do not subscribe to chibolts Google Group yet. There is no database size limit set in CLAN except for the memory size on your computer. Freq command should be able to count all words in database. The problem might be the format of email messages in CLAN system or the commands and options you use. Also, please make sure that you have the latest version of CLAN. To diagnose the problems you are describing it would be very helpful to me if you could email me a sample of your data and the command line you are using at spektor at andrew.cmu.edu. If you are not comfortable to email to me any sample of your data, then please just describe it and exactly what kind of analyzes you are trying run conduct. Is your data in just a plain text format or is it in fully legal CHAT format? If you are trying to simply get a frequency count of all words you can use "freq +y *.cha" command. That is assuming that your data file(s) have ".cha" extension. If you are trying to get just count of words associated with a particular speaker and your data is in legal CHAT format, then you can add "+t*CHI" option to above command. The "*CHI" refers to a speaker name in your data files. Hope this help, Leonid.

I have been looking for studies that investigate the effects of the possible mismatch with respect to accent and/or language variety between a Speech Langauge Pathologist and a client on the success of the SLP treatment. I am aware that in the field of Early Intervention studies have shown that an intervention is more effective when the therapist belongs to the same cultural, ethnic etc group and I wonder if this were also the case in the context of the treatment of older patient (children and adults) by SLP.

The only catch is that, to play back the media, your browser has to be Firefox and you have to have JavaScript enabled. However, if you can use Firefox on a broadband connection, then I think you will find this facility really great. To try it out, just go to http://childes.psy.cmu.edu and click on the second link on the right called Browser Access. The browser plug-in will start up and you will get instructions on how to proceed. On the left you will see some navigation folders. Let's say you pick Biling, then YipMatthews, then AliciaEng and then any one of the transcripts. Once the transcript opens up, just double click on a line and the video will play in sync. The system will scroll through the transcript and turn pages as you go. I really like this way of accessing and browsing the interactions. We are also developing a system within this facility for commenting on the interactions. More about that later.

It works really well, even on a not very fast dsl line. I notice that you can stop the proceedings by clicking on the picture, and that it is easy to go back and forth in the transcript by clicking on individual lines. All very good to have. One suggestion is that down the line it would be great if the navigation folders had some indication if the files in them had attached media (perhaps a little media symbol of some sort), so that people looking for examples could go right there.

It may be a bit tricky to implement this, but the recent change in file format should make this easier. What we did a few months ago was to introduce a header line declaring the exact nature of the video, thereby removing media names from the bullets and putting a single name up at the top. So, perhaps a program can track this and construct the type of information you are suggesting. As you see, one of the things that pops up right away with a facility like this is the contrast between being able to study child language interactions with and without media. It makes a huge difference doesn't it? All the more reason for us to try to link some of these great transcripts (such as the Gleason corpus) to the respective media, right? :) Best wishes, -- Brian MacW On May 3, 2009, at 12:28 AM, Jean Berko Gleason wrote: > > Brian, thanks for this.

If the folder listing on the left doesn't pop up within about five seconds, then your connection may be too slow to support video. You should still be able to play audio, however.

Next, you can find out if the problem is your connection speed by going into QuickTime and in the QuickTime Preferences under the Streaming tab, set you connection speed to 56 kbps Modem. This will force the server to play MP3 audio instead of video. If the transcript then plays OK with audio, you can conclude that your connection is too slow to support video playback. You may possibly be able to play around with your streaming rate to find something acceptable. -- Brian MacWhinney On May 3, 2009, at 11:51 AM, Gordon, Peter wrote: > I'm having trouble loading the videos.

That is, models which are compatible with research in psycholinguistics, developmental psychology and linguistics. Invited Speakers: * Tom Griffiths, University of California, Berkeley * Hinrich Scheutze, University of Stuttgart (TBC) Workshop History: This is the fifth meeting of the Psychocomputational Models of Human Language Acquisition workshop following PsychoCompLA-2004, held in Geneva, Switzerland as part of the 20th International Conference on Computational Linguistics (COLING- 2004), PsychoCompLA-2005 as part of the 43rd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL-2005) held in Ann Arbor, Michigan where the workshop shared a joint session with the Ninth Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning (CoNLL-2005), PsychoCompLA-2007 held in Nashville, Tennessee as part of the 29th meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci- 2007), and PsychoCompLA-2008 held in Washington D.C., as part of the 30th meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci-2008). Given the increasing interest, this year the workshop will be spread over two days directly before the main conference of the 31st meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci-2009) which begins on July 30th, 2009. Workshop Description: The workshop will present research and foster discussion centered around psychologically-motivated computational models of language acquisition, with an emphasis on the acquisition of syntax. In recent decades there has been a thriving research agenda that applies computational learning techniques to emerging natural language technologies and many meetings, conferences and workshops in which to present such research. However, there have been only a few (but growing number of) venues in which psychocomputational models of how humans acquire their native language(s) are the primary focus. Psychocomputational models of language acquisition are of particular interest in light of recent results in developmental psychology that suggest that very young infants are adept at detecting statistical patterns in an audible input stream. Though, how children might plausibly apply statistical 'machinery' to the task of grammar acquisition, with or without an innate language component, remains an open and important question. One effective line of investigation is to computationally model the acquisition process and determine interrelationships between a model and linguistic or psycholinguistic theory, and/or correlations between a model's performance and data from linguistic environments that children are exposed to. Topics and Goals: Short papers that present research on (but not necessarily limited to) the following topics are welcome: * Models that address the acquisition of word-order; * Models that combine parsing and learning; * Formal learning-theoretic and grammar induction models that incorporate psychologically plausible constraints; * Comparative surveys that critique previously reported studies; * Models that have a cross-linguistic or bilingual perspective; * Models that address learning bias in terms of innate linguistic knowledge versus statistical regularity in the input; * Models that employ language modeling techniques from corpus linguistics; * Models that employ techniques from machine learning; * Models of language change and its effect on language acquisition or vice versa; * Models that employ statistical/probabilistic grammars; * Computational models that can be used to evaluate existing linguistic or developmental theories (e.g., principles & parameters, optimality theory, construction grammar, etc.) * Empirical models that make use of child-directed corpora such as CHILDES. This workshop intends to bring together researchers from cognitive psychology, computational linguistics, other computer/mathematical sciences, linguistics and psycholinguistics working on all areas of language acquisition. Diversity and cross-fertilization of ideas is the central goal.

Message-ID: Hi I'd like to be able to output children's ages from the CLAN programs COMBI and FREQ. I can only get them to output the name of the datafile where the item occurs. I can then obtain the children's ages by looking at the headers in the datafile. However, this is a bit longwinded and time-consuming, so if anyone knows of a way to automatically output the children's ages I'd be very appreciative. Thanks Nick Riches. P.S. I've been looking at the STATFREQ command, but it doesn't quite seem to do what I require. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

That way you will have a column with ages only. It shouldn't take more than one minute.

M. Allen (Boston University) and Caroline F. Rowland (University of Liverpool) have agreed to become the new series editors for Trends in Language Acquisition Research (TiLAR). Shanley Allen (PhD, McGill University) is an Associate Professor in the School of Education at Boston University, USA. Her research focuses on how the morphosyntactic structure of a language affects the patterns of development in that language. She is best known for her work on the acquisition of Inuktitut (Eskimo) as well as the acquisition of argument structure and argument realization. She has published numerous articles and chapters on language acquisition, and has served for several years as Associate Editor of the Journal of Child Language. Caroline Rowland (PhD, University of Nottingham) is a senior lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Liverpool, UK. Her research focuses on the question of how children acquire their first language, with the aim of developing and testing constructivist models of the language acquisition process. She is best known for her work on English children's acquisition of questions and auxiliaries and she has written, edited and contributed to a number of books and journals on first language acquisition. TiLAR publishes monographs, edited volumes and text books on theoretical and methodological issues in the field of child language research. The focus of the series is on original research on all aspects of the scientific study of language behavior in children, linking different areas of research including linguistics, psychology & cognitive science. The editors welcome proposals for thematic collections and monographs, focusing on work with a constructivist/non-generativist slant. TiLAR wants to publish sound empirical work (including research monographs based on PhD theses of an excellent standard) and to encourage debates and discussions. Shanley Allen and Caroline Rowland will be assisted by an editorial board consisting of: Ruth Berman, Tel Aviv University Morten Christiansen, Cornell University Jean Berko Gleason, Boston University Nancy Budwig, Clark University Ewa Dabrowska, University of Sheffield Philip S.

The words beginning with A-N are missing. Is there a certain data base size in which the program will not accurately process? Thanks, in advance, to whomever can answer this.

URL: From spektor at andrew.cmu.edu Thu May 28 17:42:37 2009 From: spektor at andrew.cmu.edu (Leonid Spektor) Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 13:42:37 -0400 Subject: Question about word tokens and new words on CLAN In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Carolyn, The proper place to post this kind of question is on chibolts at googlegroups.com. I am posting a reply to both chibolts and info-childes address in case you do not subscribe to chibolts Google Group yet. There is no database size limit set in CLAN except for the memory size on your computer. Freq command should be able to count all words in database. The problem might be the format of email messages in CLAN system or the commands and options you use. Also, please make sure that you have the latest version of CLAN. To diagnose the problems you are describing it would be very helpful to me if you could email me a sample of your data and the command line you are using at spektor at andrew.cmu.edu. If you are not comfortable to email to me any sample of your data, then please just describe it and exactly what kind of analyzes you are trying run conduct. Is your data in just a plain text format or is it in fully legal CHAT format? If you are trying to simply get a frequency count of all words you can use "freq +y *.cha" command. That is assuming that your data file(s) have ".cha" extension. If you are trying to get just count of words associated with a particular speaker and your data is in legal CHAT format, then you can add "+t*CHI" option to above command. The "*CHI" refers to a speaker name in your data files. Hope this help, Leonid. On 28-05-09 10:22, "Carolyn Piazza" wrote: > To the info-childes google group, > ? > ??
